The Anti-Putinistas on SF have been telling us that Putin is in the pocket of the jews.

Well, apparently, he's not in the pocket of the Israeli jews or the American jews or the EU jews -- or this incident and, indeed, Putin's takeover of the war on ISIS and Putin's military move into the Middle East would NOT have happened.

The American military would never in a million years threaten the military of their boss, Israel. Right? Remember the USS Liberty? The American military doesn't even respond when Israeli jets bomb American Navy ships, much less fly over Syria. America's military is Israel's bitch (to put it in perfectly appropriate and accurate negroid vernacular).

Obviously, the same cannot be said of Putin's military.

Which jews then, Anti-Putinista SF'ers, is Putin in the pocket of? The jews in Russia? Are those jews then the only nationalistic -- non-international -- jews in the world? Are Russian jews the only jews in the world not coordinating their efforts with the international globalistic NWO jews?

I'm having some difficulty getting Putin back in the pocket of the jews you all have put him in.

Could it be Putin and Russia are NOT in the pocket of the jews?

I don't believe Putin is, they started military operations days after they told Israel they wouldn't. Say what you want about Putin and Russia, but in my opinion they are doing a lot more things right then us Western Nations.

The insults seem to be directed at Americans. Since i am an American i take offense to that. Obama does not enforce my will nor that of many of us. There should be a disclaimer on that before they rant. We don't point fingers at the German people for what Merkel does, so they should return that favor.

Ur being too sensitive. Of course they're talking about the gov/ jooish gov. The kike is the target.

Whenever the New World Order wants to destroy a government which doesn't kowtow to them, like Saddam Hussein of Iraq and now Assad of Syria, etc., they create out of thin air the rationale that the ruler (they want to kill) is massacring his own people. Hence the noble need for the U.S. military to kill the ruler and replace the government with a "true democracy." In every instance, this tale has later been shown to be a lie. Usually, the ruler is much loved by his people because he is truly concerned for their welfare. Of course, that's the very problem. These rulers are concerned for their own people and nations, not the best interests of the New World Order globalist "elite."

By the way, what are Obama and Merkel and the EU doing to their own people and their own nations? Aren't they killing their native populations -- even if mostly in slow motion -- and destroying their culture and nation and their very genetics? Why doesn't the U.S. military attack these mass murderers and replace their governments with "true democracies" and so save America and Germany and Europe and the White Race? Aren't America and Germany and Europe and the White Race more important to the U.S. military than Syria and the hodgepodge in the Middle East?

Used to be when military aircraft start breaching another countries airspace it would be considered an act of war. Watch how quickly this story disappears....and imagine the reaction if Russian aircraft were flying over (not attacking anything, just passing through) Israeli airspace.

This does show once again how when it comes to wiping out a population who cant really fight back (see Israeli airstrikes on a UN run school or the white phosphorous on a school) or kids throwing rocks at tanks but they quickly bow out once they run into something that can fight back. See how the Lebanon thing played out and how they fled when they encountered these Russian aircraft. Cant say I blame them on that last one though; I wouldnt want to run into an SU-30 in an F15 either.

The IDF are a second rate force who have only ever met third rate opposition.
Propped up by first rate equipment and adoring PR from a suck holing media, the mask soon slips when reality bites.

Stratfor: US Wants to Weaken Russia's Position in the Middle East by Pulling It into Ukrainian Conflict

The Ukrainian conflict was sparked by the US in response to Russia’s activities in the Middle East, according to the US private intelligence service Stratfor

The Ukrainian conflict was sparked by the US in response to Russia’s activities in the Middle East, the US private intelligence service Stratfor suggested. Washington was discontented with the role of Moscow in the Syrian conflict, and wanted to avert it by using Ukraine.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Thursday during his visit to the US Air Force base in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh that military pressure would be needed to force Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to negotiate. Syria needs a political transition and Assad should be removed because he ‘had lost any legitimacy’, AP cites Kerry as saying.

Kerry added that the fight against the Islamic State is the most important task of the US in Syria and Iraq. Assad, however, brings a serious accusation against the United States. The US air strikes against the IS were of ‘purely cosmetic’ nature. Terrorism cannot be combated from the air, said Assad. The statement that air strikes of Anti-IS alliance would strengthen Syria are not truthful.

It remains unclear whether the US seriously intend to carry out a military strike against Syria. Then that would invoke the Syrian allies plan with Russia. So far Kremlin has been at the side of the Syrian government. But the Ukrainian crisis is likely to have limited international latitude of Russia.

Head of the secret intelligence think tank Stratfor, George Friedman, said in an interview with the newspaper ‘Kommersant’ that the overthrow of Yanukovych’s government had been planned and carried out by the United States.

That was the reaction to the Kremlin success in the Middle East, as the Middle East was a ‘key region’ for US interests. Russia, being an actor in the Middle East, is one of many challenges facing the United States. Moscow supported the Syrian government and was also active in other Middle Eastern states.

Washington wants to overthrow the Assad government and support the opposition. But Kremlin has the potential to influence the course of events in the Middle East and is currently the biggest obstacle to the United States. This also included Russian interference into the processes with Iraq and Iran. But Washington has practiced no direct retaliation against Russia in Ukraine but only the one for the Syrian conflict.

It was rather aimed to distract Russia and to make her occupied with other problems. That was the idea behind the Ukraine conflict.

The US think tank ‘Atlantic Council’ reported that the United States can exercise larger diplomatic pressure on Russia in Syria due to the conflict in Ukraine. Russia could abandon its ‘reflexive defensive stance’ in regard to the Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad, and thus would make it more accessible to US interests. That is at least one possible scenario.

At the end of December, 2014, Russia criticized confusion of the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine within the framework of the ‘Ukraine Freedom Support Act’ , which was dismissed by the US Senate. In its note the Russian Foreign Ministry says: ‘Once again Washington brings groundless accusations against Russia and threatens it with more sanctions. At the same time, the conflicts in Ukraine and in Syria, which the US have inflated, are intertwined’.

The West's obsession with regime change triggered a civil war and the rise of the Islamic State, provoking a Russian reaction which threatens to leave the West sidelined and humiliated

The West’s fury at the Russian air campaign in Syria is like the tantrum of a spoilt child denied its sweet.

The sweet is the head of President Assad.

US President Obama gave the game away in his first public comments following the Russian air strikes.

Amidst many bitter words, he let the truth slip out:

Quote:

“The moderate opposition in Syria is one that, if we ever going to have a political transition, we need. And the Russian policy is driving those folks underground or creating a situation in which they are decapacitated and it is only strengthening ISIL.”

Translated into plain English, Obama is complaining the Russian air campaign is destroying the people the US wants to take over Syria.

This comment tells us something else. This is that the US expects the Russian air campaign to succeed, and the opposition to Assad to be defeated.

This very revealing article in the Daily Beast describes the hand-wringing in Washington as its bluff in Syria is being called.

Behind the bluster, there is no intention to interfere in the Russian air campaign, and rather than face off against the Russian air force, plans for US bombing raids on Syria and for no-fly zones have been called off.

Moreover there is a bipartisan support for this, with war hawks like Hillary Clinton and Senator McCain isolated....

...If the diplomatic route is to be followed - even at this very late stage - then the US and its allies will have to abandon their insane demand that President Assad go as a precondition for negotiations, and their equally insane demand that the Russians force him to go .

There are some people in the West, like the writer of the article in the Daily Telegraph I attach below (since it is behind a paywall) who appear to understand this.

It is far from clear however that US and Western leaders do. Despite some optimistic claims to the contrary, the most Western leaders for the moment seem prepared to concede is that President Assad might remain in power for a few months until power is handed over to those the US has groomed to take over.

This is something to which the Russians will never agree, as Putin made clear in his recent interview with Charlie Rose, when he said

Quote:

“At no time in the past, now or in the future has or will Russia take any part in actions aimed at overthrowing (a) legitimate government.”

The idea the Russians will shift from this position - or can be bullied or bribed with threats or offers of Syrian bases to do so - is fantastic. It is an idea that has been repeatedly tested over the last four years, and which has repeatedly been proved to be wrong. It is incredible that - judging from the ceaseless Western media refrain that Russia “push” Assad into “negotiations” (ie. force him to go) - so many people in the West still don't grasp this.

What the events of the last few weeks show is that the West now has a choice. Either it revises its strategy, and engages meaningfully with the Russians - and President Assad - to find a way out of the Syrian crisis and to defeat the Islamic State, or the Russians will simply follow through the logic of their position and of their recent actions, and press on with their campaign together with their allies until the the Islamic State has been destroyed.

That is the objective Putin has declared, and there is no reason to think the Russians will not pursue it until it has been achieved. The forces that are gathering, not just from Russia but also from Iran, Iraq and Lebanon, from within Syria itself, and possibly even from China, are almost certainly enough to achieve it.

The US and the West will in that case find themselves sidelined, becoming bystanders with none of their objectives in Syria achieved.

If that is the result, then the blame for the humiliation they will suffer will lie in their own intransigence and folly. The “exceptional country”, it will turn out, is not so exceptional after all.

Former US army colonel and Chief of Staff for Colin Powell, Lawrence Wilkerson unleashed a most prescient speech on the demise of the United States Empire.

As Naked Capitalism's Yves Smith notes, Wilkerson describes the path of empires in decline and shows how the US is following the classic trajectory. He contends that the US needs to make a transition to being one of many powers and focus more on strategies of international cooperation.

The video is full of rich historical detail and terrific, if sobering, nuggets, such as:

Quote:

"History tells us we’re probably finished.

The rest of of the world is awakening to the fact that the United States is 1) strategically inept and 2) not the power it used to be. And that the trend is to increase that."

Wilkerson includes in his talk not just the way that the US projects power abroad, but internal symptoms of decline, such as concentration of wealth and power, corruption and the disproportionate role of financial interests.

Wilkerson also says the odds of rapid collapse of the US as an empire is much greater is generally recognized. He also includes the issues of climate change and resource constraints, and points out how perverse it is that the Department of Defense is the agency that is taking climate change most seriously. He says that the worst cases scenario projected by scientists is that the world will have enough arable land to support 400 million people.

Further key excerpts include:

Quote:

"Empires at the end concentrate on military force as the be all and end all of power… at the end they use more mercenary based forces than citizen based forces”

“Empires at the end…go ethically and morally bankrupt… they end up with bankers and financiers running the empire, sound familiar?”

“So they [empires] will go out for example, when an attack occurs on them by barbarians that kills 3000 of their citizens, mostly because of their negligence, they will go out and kill 300,000 people and spend 3 trillion dollars in order to counter that threat to the status quo. They will then proceed throughout the world to exacerbate that threat by their own actions, sound familiar?…This is what they [empires] do particularly when they are getting ready to collapse”

“This is what empires in decline do, they can’t even in govern themselves”

Quoting a Chinese man who was a democrat, then a communist (under Mao) then, when he became disenchanted, a poet and writer…”You can sit around a table and talk about politics, about social issues, about anything and you can have a reasonable discussion with a reasonable person. But start talking about the mal-distribution of wealth and you better get your gun” ….”that’s where we are, in Europe and the United States”.
